Don't know much about Weird War II, but am interested in hypothetical/prototype designs vs. real aircraft, or the other side's prototypes and hypothetical designs. There were a lot of promising aircraft that would no doubt have significantly changed things, at least technologically, if the war had continued. Perhaps not the outcome of the war, but it is interesting to ponder how aerial warfare might have developed if the war had continued on for another year or two, or even five years. |

You do all the painting, you run the game, etc.
I'll play. |

ditto But I do like experimental planes so Luftwaffe 1946 (and the UK / USA things that might have been) is interesting. Even if I only make the models. |

I have yet to find a plane game that I actually enjoyed. |

I believe a commonly applied term for 20's – 50's Weird Airwar genre is "dieselpunk". I have a ton of WizKids Crimson Skies prepaints- scooped up all along post-cancellation, most at ridiculous prices. I have been fitting them with RE magnet, and tossing the old clix bases. I have been long tinkering with fitting the designs to the Axis & Allies Miniatures Air Combat rules, or some house rules variant thereof (I forget the name) that I dug up. I have played neither, but they appear simple yet intuitive, IMHO a hard find for flying games. |

A lot of aircraft would look the same-a P-39 with turbochargers, for example. That would make it a viable high altitude fighter. I always wanted to put 37mm tank killers on a SBD. Luftkrieg(both books)from the Gearkrieg series are still available. Mustangs(the old AH boardgame) rules and variants are available on line link |
